The Soul with An Ignited Mind Bids Adieu to the Concrete World

He was the President of the nation India, but even before that he was a soul so rare, so pure and so generous who was on a mission to give away knowledge and ignite the minds of the nation. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, as the world knows him, was the living example of the most famous saying – ‘Simple living high thinking.’ He believed in possessing an ignited mind and helping others in earning knowledge and this is why perhaps, he chose to impart knowledge to students, even till the last minute of his life. The best teacher the nation ever had, Dr. Kalam bid farewell to his students, the most indispensable part of life, and left the nation shattered in the pain of losing the gem of a person.

Always known as the students’ President, Dr. Kalam was the one man who was never tired of his mission and never gave up on hope in making the young India more educated and wiser. Of course, the legend gave away the best of his knowledge to his students, but still it feels that he had lots in his chest of knowledge that remained undistributed and lost in the infinity with the loss of a great soul.

Dr. Kalam ensured a change in the traditions and rituals and brought a revolution in his nation even after his death by making obedience to his last wish mandatory by all. Kalam had once said - "Don't declare a holiday on my death; instead work an extra day.” With this message denoted by the mentor of the nation in his living days, Kalam ensured that the old and so long practiced rule of declaring a central holiday on the death of a prominent person will not be practiced on his death. Instead, bringing a difference to the tradition, political leaders and common people chose to work through the day and paid their tributes by even working extra hours.

Today the nation is without its ‘Missile Man’, today the students of the country are without their mentor. This true and pure agent of God will be missed by this nation, even for the next generations to come, today and forever.

Degree course on North East studies to be introduced in Jamia Millia Islamia University

People from North-East will perhaps no longer remain an estranged being in the national platform as those people who do not know much about the North-east India and do not have much knowledge on the lifestyle, tradition, cultures and natural richness of the region, will get to know a lot as North-East studies is going to be made available to be studied for students. One of the leading educational institutes in the country, Jamia Millia Islamia University is going to make its first step towards initiating study of the North-East.   

It all happened when the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Dr. Jitendra Singh visited the University’s Centre for Northeast Studies and after a discussion with the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Talat Ahmed, Head of Northeast Studies, Prof. Sanjoy Hazarika and other faculty members, came to this decision that a proper Post Graduation Masters’ degree course will be started in the university particularly in Northeast studies.

As expressed by the DoNER minister, this will be a totally new and unique initiative of its kind in the educational system of the country as it is the first step taken by an Indian University in which a formal recognized Post Graduation Degree Course will be provided in region based studies. This is a completely new experience in the Indian academic system and will create a noticeable identity for the Jamia Millia Islamia University and the North-eastern part of India.

Speaking about the growth and development of education in the North-East, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that it has a very high literacy rate and a small State like Mizoram has been able to create record by showing a literacy rate of 92% to 93%. Noticeably, Kerala is the top most literate state and Mizoram comes in the second position.

The minister also said that Centres for Northeast Studies will also perform as resource banks for people from outside Northeast so that people can be helped in understanding and studying the exclusive culture and richness of that region.

User of derogatory terms for Northeastern people is to be legally punished

Making a revolutionary and much awaited decision in favour of eliminating discrimination prevailing in the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs informed the Delhi High Court today that it has decided to amend the IPC to strengthen the legal framework against racial discrimination. This means, the people of Northeast India who are often being ill-treated by the people from the rest of the places of India and are often made to bear the derogatory terms and abuses, will not have to suffer from it any more. There will be legal punishments for the ones who abuses people from the Northeast.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath said, “The Ministry of Home Affairs is in process of finalising a comprehensive bill for insertion of new sections of 153C and 509A in Indian Penal Code (IPC) which will be introduced in Parliament after Inter-Ministerial consultation.”

The MHA opt to amend the actions against the racial discriminators as a result of the recommendation of the MK Bezbaruah Committee constituted in February 2014, following a spate of attacks against people from the NE region living in Delhi. Thus, the proposed Section 153C makes clear that both spoken and written terms that are derogatory and prejudicial to the people of the Northeast, any signs attempting to discriminate or indulging in activity intended to use criminal force or violence against a particular race will be considered as a non-bailable offence punishable with imprisonment up to five years with fine.

Remarkably, there are many recent incidents of discrimination and harmful attack on people from Northeast that has taken place in Delhi and in other parts of the country. Another Section, the proposed Section 509A seeks to make any word, gesture or act intended to insult a member of a particular race with imprisonment that may extend to three years with fine.

Assamese performers at the opening ceremony of International Film Festival, Italy

The two traditional dance forms from Assam, Bihu and Bhortal Nritya has its particular significance in Assamese culture and the good news is that, now these regional dance forms are to be performed together at the same at the same international platform. In a rather good intention and with an attempt to showcase the cultural richness of the North-eastern state, the school students from the state are being invited to take part at the opening ceremony of the 45th Giffoni International Film Festival in Italy which is going to take place next week. 

Notably, this is one of the most popular and widely acclaimed international children’s film festivals in the world and the children films from all over the world are being selected to be screened in this festival. It is to take place from July 17 at Giffoni Valle Piana in Salerno province in southern Italy.

Along with thousands of children participants from across the world, a few from Assam are also being nominated to be a part of this festival. Students from the NPS International School in Guwahati are invited by the organisers who are to perform Bihu and Bhortal nritya at the opening ceremony. In addition to that, four students — Md. Nasad (Class 8), Hrishiraj Sawant (Class 9), Krishna Saha (Class 8) and Disha Boro (Class 8) will also perform Indian classical dance at the inauguration ceremony.

The director of the school, J.N. Das, said, “We are very happy that two very important dance forms of Assam will be performed at the inauguration of such a prestigious event. We are looking forward to that day.”

He also added, “A thought-provoking documentary titled ‘We are Same Same, But Different’, directed by our students, has also been selected for a special screening.”

However, it has to be mentioned here that this is not the first time that the students of the NPS International School are appreciated for their qualities. A documentary titled “Assam Bamboo Crafts” prepared by students of NPS International School have bagged the ‘Best Documentary Film’ and ‘Best Cinematography’ awards in the school students section at the 5th Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival earlier this year.

China using India’s images of pollution to warn Chinese citizens

Other countries are now using images of India to hold as instance and there is nothing to feel good or proud at it as rather than being positive, this is an utter instance of negative impression. Not for holding an instance of progress and development of the country, rather to show the poor part of the country, neighbouring country China is using the images of polluted India to hold as warning to its citizens. The dismal side of the polluted India and its images are enough to warn one against the adversities and the disadvantages of pollution. China is doing that only by pasting images of Indian cities like Mumbai at public places.   

The impact of climate change, global warming and pollution can be really harsh on the mankind and everything else living on this planet and one must start realizing that. China, in spite of being world's largest carbon emitter, has been able to realize it on time and have, hence, taken precautionary measures as well. This, on the other hand, is not evident in India and this has led to the Indian cities sinking into pollution and life getting miserable in such places. China has already started planning for a better, healthier and pollution free future and by showing India’s images as instance it has not only warned its citizens, but have also put India to shame.  

Despite the clean India green India movement taken up by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, not much advancements can be noticed in terms of cleaning India and making it an environmentally friendly place.  

The issues that India is facing a lot at present leading to environmental pollution are being highlighted as the plastic garbage and sandstorms through the ads by China. In fact, the ways to address the environmental challenges are also being suggested by China in the posters.  

One of the ads states, "The beaches in Mumbai were covered in plastic garbage, teenagers, eager to release energy of youth, had no choice but to play cricket in the garbage heap."

Another advertisement speaks about Allahabad and states, "On July 12, 2015, the city of Allahabad in India was hit by sandstorms, the resulting low visibility made it impossible for pedestrian to see each others in the sand."

This is truly the time that India must realize where it is lagging behind and what are the issues that it should deal with first for keeping pollution at bay! If China can recognize the weaknesses than why cannot India?
